As bug reporter of bug #132947, who notified Ubuntu Security about the issue, I can barely express myself, as English is not my mother tongue, how poorly this issue is handled - YEARS passed by. Everyone is laughting at Microsoft when it takes them 10 months to fix severe security issues, but seeing this bug, I can well imagine why it takes so long.
If I were so, and I was, about building packages everytime myself, I would use Gentoo, Slackware or any BSD - but Ubuntu is a binary distribution, therefore I like to have a binary delivered. I want something that just works. It needs someone to get it done on a political basis - either by fixing the issue or removing the piece of insecure code. my 2c Philipp -- IMAP/POP3+SSL/TLS are disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
